Degas printer drivers

I have recently acquired an HP DeskJet+ printer.  I would like to print out
a copy of the Dungeon Master maps on my new printer, but I don't have a
degas printer driver for it.

Question one:  Where can I get a Degas driver for my DeskJet+?  I'm sure a
driver for the DeskJet would work fine.  A driver for a HP LaserJet would
probably be okay.  Since they're only 2048 bytes, mail would be appropriate.

Failing that, where can I get a program that allows me to make my own Degas
driver?

Faling even that, does anyone know the format of the file?  I could piece
one together if necessary.

As I understand it, a Degas printer driver is a file with suffix .PRT and
is always 2048 bytes long.

Note: I don't have Degas, so if the answer is in the documentation, please
summarize.  Lots of programs use the Degas drivers without requiring Degas.

Thanks,
